Hi Patrick,
I don't understand why the extender includes the d4 in the third measure.
Because you didn’t tell it to stop extending. ;)
I thought the single "__" initiated an extender that ended either at
the end of the current note, in the case of a sequence of tied notes
(which creates a single note), or at the end of the slur if a slur
starts on the current note. If that's true, then, since the initial
c1 can't be and isn't tied to the d4 and the initial c1 is not
slurred to the d4, I had in effect told it to stop extending. If I
wanted the extender to include the d4, I would (should) have written
the extender as "__ _". And for some reason that I can't find
explained in the Notation RM, LilyPond evidently assumed that that
("__ _") is what I had written.
Is there a way to shorten it to the tied c1 in the second measure?
How’s this?
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.83"
music = \relative c' {
c1 ~ c1
d4 e f g }
words = \lyricmode { Tra __ la la la la }
\score { \new Staff \new Voice \music \addlyrics \words }
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
If you really want a gap [under the d], then use
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.83"
music = \relative c' {
c1 ~ c1
d4 e f g }
words = \lyricmode { Tra __ \markup \null la la la }
\score { \new Staff \new Voice \music \addlyrics \words }
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Hope that helps!
Yes, it helps a lot. Thanks.
Kieren.
